Let you simulate life, but you change fate every time?! Chapter 1174 - 611: Ten Thousand Techniques Return to Origin, Power Surges! (Part 2)

Wuyou City offers a thousandfold time acceleration, meaning three years within its confines equate to a mere single day in the outside world.

Thus, despite my five years of secluded cultivation, which appears lengthy, only two days have elapsed beyond the city walls.

"Has my Divine Soul's strength advanced once more?"

Lu Yuan exclaimed softly, a note of surprise in his voice.

Ever since fully consolidating nine Supreme Laws into a singular entity, his Divine Thought effortlessly permeates everywhere, granting him dominion over all celestial and earthly matters.

With but a fleeting thought, he can pierce through layers of oppressive black mist, traverse billions of miles, and encompass the entirety of the Great Yan Empire.

It feels as though, even from within Wuyou City and separated by an immeasurable expanse, he can precisely observe every action taken within the Great Yan Imperial City.

He can even penetrate the City Defense Array's formidable barriers, witnessing the Great Flame Ancestor in repose with closed eyes, observing numerous diligent members of the Royal Family, and noting the dissolute Great Yan Monarch engrossed in revelry and drink...

This signifies, therefore.

That the vast Great Yan Empire holds no concealed matters from his gaze!

Most crucially.

Even formidable entities like the Great Flame Ancestor remain oblivious to this; they are entirely unaware that every one of his actions is laid bare for Lu Yuan to witness.

However, at this precise juncture.

A Double Fish Jade Pendant adorning the Great Flame Ancestor suddenly activates on its own, erupting with intense radiance and narrowly repelling Lu Yuan's Divine Thought!

"Who dares to intrude upon my senses?"

The Great Flame Ancestor's countenance shifted dramatically, a wave of shock and fury washing over him as cold sweat broke out.

It is widely known that this Jade Pendant is rumored to be the creation of a divine hand, a treasured artifact safeguarding the Great Yan Royal Family.

It possesses unimaginable might, sufficient to withstand the full destructive force of a deity's strike.

Had the Jade Pendant not autonomously activated just then, he might still be unaware of the clandestine surveillance he was subjected to!

"Intriguing, a divine artifact forged by a deity?"

Lu Yuan cast a brief glance at the Double Fish Jade Pendant, his Divine Thought retracting like a receding tide.

The Great Yan Empire is but a fleeting distraction, incapable of forging any significant resistance.

The immediate priority is to confront the encroaching army of the Dark Alien Race.

Subsequent to dealing with the Dark Alien Race.

He shall ascend to the Imperial City and settle all outstanding disputes with the Great Yan Royal Family!

"Sikong Xi's intelligence was accurate indeed; within the Dark Alien Race's ranks, a Demigod Level Dark Creature presides."

Lu Yuan's expansive Divine Thought unfurled across every corner of existence, akin to a vast Heaven and Earth Net, effortlessly piercing through all circumstances.

Within his perception.

Tens of thousands of miles distant from Wuyou City, an immense black torrent advanced with astonishing speed toward the city.

Upon closer scrutiny.

This dark deluge was revealed to be comprised of trillions of dark creatures, forming a formidable alien army!

These aberrant creatures belonged to diverse races, encompassing colossal ferocious beasts, menacing extraterrestrials, and various beings from across the Ten Thousand Races.

Superficially.

They appeared without armor or weaponry, devoid of military formations or combat disciplines, seemingly just a chaotic horde of innumerable dark beings.

Yet, in truth.

Each dark creature emanated an aura of extreme power, and they were all shrouded in an oppressive, dense black mist.

Within this miasma, even grievous wounds could be instantly healed, restoring them to their prior state, rendering them nearly immortal!

It is no exaggeration to assert.

That facing this Dark Army, even exceptionally powerful Immortal cultivators would inevitably be consumed by these dark entities!

"Boom!"

Where this monstrous horde traversed, naught remained untouched.

All life forms were utterly absorbed by the dark torrent, ultimately becoming integral components of the encroaching darkness.

"Squeak squeak!"

Within a desolate, abandoned city, a few mutated rats were industriously scavenging amongst the ruins.

Suddenly, however, they emitted frantic squeals, abruptly orienting their heads backward, as if sensing an approaching peril.

In the subsequent moment.

Hundreds of these mutated rats emerged from every concealed nook of the city, desperately attempting to flee into the distance.

Yet, they were merely common beasts; how could their speed possibly rival that of the advancing Dark Army?

"Rip!"

The group of mutated rats had scarcely fled any significant distance.

When the Dark Army surged forward like an overwhelming tidal wave, engulfing them entirely.

Subsequently, all the rodent corpses, alongside every plant and minuscule organism within the city's dilapidated ruins, rapidly dissolved as if made of snow, vanishing without a trace.

However, Lu Yuan perceived clearly.

That following the consumption of those rats.

Within the Dark Army, the power of a few dark creatures appeared to have marginally intensified.

Although this augmentation was minuscule, Lu Yuan, relying on his formidable Divine Thought Power, keenly detected this subtle transformation.

"This Dark Origin possesses the ability to consume all vitality and matter, exhibiting a tyranny far surpassing the Supreme Chaos Law. It is for this very reason that even the Will of the Heavens finds itself helpless against the Dark Source."

Lu Yuan, recalling the Will of the Heavens' prior statement, felt a sudden heaviness descend upon him.

Information revealed by the Will of the Heavens indicated the following:

Countless epochs ago.

A solitary Forbidden Existence once stood supreme above All Heavens and Myriad Realms. This being was the creator of the Scripture of Celestial Divine Prison, considered the ultimate technique.

He embarked on Creation, intending to assimilate the myriad laws of the world through this technique, thereby forging an entirely new path.

Alas.

For reasons unknown, this Forbidden Existence suffered a severe backlash, ultimately resulting in failure.

Following his demise.

His physical form underwent a bizarre transformation, eventually becoming the Dark Source. This transformation unleashed an unprecedented cataclysm of extinction upon All Heavens and Myriad Realms.

The most perilous aspect, however, is this:

The Dark Origin emanating from its transformed body is unimaginably terrifying.

It cannot be slain, nor can it be destroyed; all attempts to eliminate it have proven futile.

Furthermore, these dark origins are not inert; they appear to possess an independent consciousness, infiltrating every corner and corrupting all things within heaven and earth.

Even the humblest blade of grass or the smallest stone, once tainted by a dark origin, transforms into a component of the encroaching darkness.

Consequently, innumerable World Planes endured monstrous fatalities, and even the mighty Celestial Gods actively avoided it, terrified of its deadly peril.

Yet, some deities, in their relentless pursuit of greater power, willingly succumbed to the darkness, becoming subservient to the Dark Origin.

The very Dark Army arrayed before them now exhibits certain characteristics inherent to the Dark Origin.

As long as the surrounding black mist endures, they remain impervious to death. Their strength can even be amplified by consuming other life forms.

For countless deities, this presents an insurmountable obstacle!

"The Scripture of Celestial Divine Prison, conceived by the Forbidden Existence, stands as the Supreme Technique. Since it shares the same origin as the Dark Origin, it naturally possesses the ability to suppress all dark entities with ease."

"However, if this path culminates in failure, will I too become like the Forbidden Existence, embodying this very darkness?"

Lu Yuan's brow furrowed, his mind awash with a multitude of thoughts and conjectures.

This matter was far from trivial.

Supreme Laws were inherently unique.

Each Supreme Law wielded an overwhelming and terrifying power.

Yet, Lu Yuan, through the Scripture of Celestial Divine Prison, was integrating nine Supreme Laws into a single entity. This fusion was magnitudes beyond simple addition; it was an exponential amplification of power.

Consequently, the greater the power, the more catastrophic the destruction should control be lost.

Much like the fate of the Forbidden Existence, who directly transformed into a Dark Source, unleashing unending calamity upon All Heavens and Myriad Realms.

Should Lu Yuan replicate this error.

It was feared that the entirety of All Heavens and Myriad Realms would face utter extinction, leaving no trace of vitality behind!

"At this juncture, excessive contemplation yields no benefit; the only course of action is to advance one step at a time and observe the unfolding consequences."

After a prolonged period of contemplation, finding no definitive answers, Lu Yuan took a deep breath, temporarily setting these disquieting thoughts aside.

After all, this was a path from which there was no return.

Having committed to this journey, dwelling on regret now would be utterly pointless.

Instead of fixating on potential gains or losses, it was wiser to fortify his resolve and proceed with unwavering determination!

"My priority is to first deal with this army of the Dark Alien Race, and subsequently, I shall settle my accounts with the Great Yan Royal Family."

A gleam sparked in Lu Yuan's eyes as he took a decisive step forward.

Immediately following this action.

His form vanished from his original position, traversing an immense distance of tens of thousands of miles in an instant. He reappeared abruptly before the assembled army of the Dark Alien Race!
